An An thought that just for this reason, from now on she would be even more filial and obedient to Teacher Ding.
People have done it to this point, and it's really a timely help in time of trouble.
An An followed Teacher Ding back to the Ding's home. Teacher Ding didn't hide anything from An An and led her directly into the house, explaining everything to her in detail. Seeing that An An didn't have a surprised expression, Teacher Ding reached out and gently tapped An An's forehead, "Did you guess it?"
An'an smiled but didn't speak, she just wouldn't open her mouth.
"You said you, Master Gu is such an honest man, how did he give birth to a clever daughter like you." It's really just a hint, and it doesn't even count, she hasn't figured it out yet! I guess by the time they finished talking outside, this kid had already guessed seven or eight tenths of it.
An'an smiled and flattered, "That's all thanks to your good teaching!"
"You're really clever." Ms. Ding said with a smile, but her hands didn't slow down as she pulled out a thick book from the desk drawer. It was where she had compiled all of her high school math knowledge, condensing several thick books into this one.
Inside were dense handwritten notes, which made Anan's nose sour as she looked at them. She solemnly said, "Thank you, Teacher Ding!" Teacher Ding's expression was soft and gentle, "From now on, I'll be like your mother, what are you thanking me for? Besides, I have nothing else to give you, only this knowledge."
"Now, listen carefully, Anan. No matter when or where, gold, silver, jewels, and wealth can all be stolen or taken away, and one day they will leave you. But the knowledge that you have imprinted in your mind is the truly precious thing that belongs to you, something that no one can steal or take away."
This is her teaching An An as a senior, no matter when, she must stick to her heart and not be disturbed by external material things. In the end, she will find that what accompanies her for the longest time is still knowledge.
An nodded slightly, perhaps she understood why Teacher Ding chose her own father when he lost his job and was targeted by bad people, having nothing.
Because Teacher Ding's inner strength is strong enough.
"Thank you, Teacher Ding!", An felt compelled to admit that in some ways, Teacher Ding was like a mother to her, even if she hadn't married her father, in terms of teaching and guiding her.
She wouldn't ask her own daughter to marry a rich man like He Dali, nor would she love to gossip like Zhang Aiqin, and she wouldn't take advantage of small benefits like Qian Shu, even if life was difficult, but in her heart, Teacher Ding was a very wealthy person.
Her knowledge, her kindness, and her rigor all support her as she moves forward.
An An felt that she had been muddled and aimless since coming to this world, without a goal. After Mr. Ding's words, she may have known what she should do in the future.
Miss Ding saw that Anan was listening sincerely and was also happy for her, she beckoned, "Go back, Master Gu and the others are waiting for you at home."
An'an bid farewell to Teacher Ding, and as soon as she entered the house, her first sentence was, "Dad, when are you going to marry Teacher Ding?" She couldn't wait to become mother-daughter with this wise teacher. An'an felt that if she lived with Teacher Ding, she would learn even more things.
Gu Weiqiang is cleaning up the house, but if they were to get married, their family's money would definitely not be enough for them to buy a new house. However, this small two-bedroom apartment is already cramped with four people living in it, and if two more were to move in, it would be even more crowded.
He wants to decorate this house nicely so that when Teacher Ding marries in and lives here later, she will be comfortable.
When he heard his daughter's question, Gu Wei was still standing on the ladder, with his whole body suspended in mid-air, his hands were replacing the original light bulb under the roof, and he even got a set of small colored lights from somewhere, surrounded by the eaves all around. He installed the last small colored light, and then patted his hand, "I and Teacher Ding have checked the date, it's the day after tomorrow, try to get the wedding done before I take office." Otherwise, after he takes office, in Secretary Ding's tone, it is clear that he will be very busy.
Once busy, where can still take care of getting married.
An'an listened, sat on the chair, took a ceramic jar and drank it in one gulp, as if thinking deeply. "Dad, that means there's only one day left to prepare." She had never eaten pork before, but she had seen pigs run around; getting married was a big deal, just preparing things didn't know how much to prepare!
"This day is not enough! An'an frowned, "The preparation time for this day is not enough. Moreover, there are many things to buy for the wedding, and if we rush through it, many things will not be fully prepared, which would be a pity for Teacher Ding!"
Gu Wei Qiang climbed down from the ladder, couldn't help but wipe a sweat for himself. Teacher Ding hadn't even entered the door yet! His own daughter was already biased towards him.
But the daughter can get along well with her stepmother, which is what Gu Weiqiang dreams of seeing. He laughed and said, "It's okay! Teacher Ding doesn't mind these things, saying that remarriage is casual, just set up a banquet, let familiar people come to eat a meal." As for other dowries, Teacher Ding really didn't mention them.
An'an looked at her father, who was being foolishly happy, and sighed. "Dad! Women are all insincere, although they say they don't want a big fuss, in reality, they secretly hope for a lively and festive atmosphere. These things that should be had can't be lacking, after all, getting married is a big deal." An'an felt like she had become an old mother, but it wasn't her own wedding, she was just being a foolish daughter worrying on the side.
His father, however, acted as if nothing was wrong and put the ladder away. "What else do we need to prepare?" he asked curiously. When he and Tang Lanzhi got married, they just invited people from the village to come and eat, and that was it!
That's because there was an old lady around, and she took care of everything. Gu Wei Qiang just had to show up as the groom.
An'an had a headache, and she hadn't gotten married before, so how would she know what to prepare?
She put down the porcelain jar in her hand, stretched a big lazy waist, and said, "Dad, I'll go to Huazi's house. We don't understand this process. Aunt Juxiang must know. If not, let's invite Aunt Juxiang over and give her the money. Let Aunt Juxiang help us prepare."
This is also helpless, marrying a daughter-in-law at home, can't let the new daughter-in-law worry about these things! If the new daughter-in-law manages more, wants more, buys more, others will say that this new daughter-in-law has long fingernails and is a person who loves to take advantage of small benefits. This child just entered the door and started spending money buying and buying.
